We are getting 180 lb's of this in on Tuesday. $8.99 lb
Good for the environment and good looking rock for our tanks.

That looks like a $70 dollar rock to me! But it does look amazing! :D I may have to buy some! :D lol

And how long do you think this rock will last? Do you think it would last till next weekend?

It very well may be a $70+ rock. His price is per pound. I think that is a picture from the manufacturer. I saw some of this rock recently and it does look very good.

The rock does look pretty porous now that you mention it. A lot of holes for eels/gobies/blennies to hide in :D

What's it made out of?

I think its just calcium carbonate? Maybe dead coral skeletons sand and other stuff? I'm not too sure, but I think its all natural.

Dang!

It was relatively lightweight considering the size of the piece I got. But that's a big piece! Very cool. Glad to see there's more options becoming available that don't damage our reefs. :)
